West Brom sack Steve Bruce after dismal start, eight days ahead of Bristol City test

West Bromwich Albion have sacked manager Steve Bruce eight days before they host Bristol City following a dismal start to the season.

One of the favourites for promotion at the beginning of the campaign, the Baggies occupy the final relegation spot in the Championship after just one victory in their first 13 matches. Their 0-0 draw at home to Luton on Saturday stretched their winless run to eight league matches.

Currently sitting 22nd, it is their worst league position in over 20 years with Bruce unable to turn around their fortunes since his appointment eight months ago. His backroom staff of Steve Agnew, Stephen Clemence and Alex Bruce have also left the club.
